Chapter 452 Northern Front

Menma also took the initiative to show up, further calm people's hearts, and after holding a meeting to assign the corresponding tasks, he took his direct shadow guards and left the village directly to reinforce the northern front.

And it was almost at the same time.

Just as reported by Karin and Menma.

The Rock Ninja troops have not received any news yet, and have not encountered any accidents. They actually arrived before the Tianxi Mountains at the appointed time. There is the last natural barrier belonging to the Land of Taki. Once you cross here, there is the endless plain area of ​​the Land of Taki, and you will directly come to the capital of the Land of Taki.

In any of the past ninja village wars, if one side really retreats to this extent, it can basically be declared defeated.

The Hikari Village will certainly not reach that extent.

But it is also very important to defend this place.

Muku and Fu, who were supporting the front line, stood on the high point of the fortress that had been built long ago, looking at the front-line camp set up by the Hidden Rock Village. They could vaguely see the dense crowd and the huge chakra that was gathered.

Muku and Fu both showed a solemn look on their faces.

Ordinary ninjas could be ignored by the two of them.

But among this group of rock ninjas, there were three fierce guys.

The overwhelming chakra aura was almost like a substance visible to the naked eye.

In such a situation.

Even if they had a geographical advantage, they would definitely fall into a disadvantage.

"Fu, once the rock ninjas launch an attack, the two tailed beasts will be handled by me, and you will be responsible for the remaining combat power of the rock ninjas!"

Muku turned his head and looked at Fu beside him, saying in a very solemn tone.

"Are you saying that the four-tailed and five-tailed are handed over to you? Is it really okay, Muku-kun?"

Although Fu knew Muku's combat power very well.

In the previous war, the power displayed by Wuque was indeed stronger than his own, but if he said that he was fighting with two tailed beasts, wouldn’t that be a bit arrogant! ?

The two Jinchūriki of the Hidden Rock Village have been tempered and proven in actual combat, and they are at the level of the Five Kage, and may even be stronger.

Wuque fought alone.

Once any problem occurs, it will directly lead to the collapse of the war, which is not something that the Hidden Light Village can accept.

"Don't worry, Fu, I can't say that we can defeat them 100%, but it is still no problem to withstand their attacks, and we have to do this, right? At least we have to buy a few days for the village. As long as Master Menma deals with those Mist Ninja bastards in the south, the pressure here will disappear in an instant."

Wuque nodded heavily.

Confidence is indeed there.

But more importantly, they have to do this.

The Hidden Light Village has now been fully deployed. The two or three thousand Hidden Light Ninjas gathered here on the front line are the largest forces that the village can dispatch. The confrontation below is not enough, let alone the collision and assistance of high-end combat power.

The pressure must be shared by the two of them.

After Fu looked at Wuque deeply, she nodded and replied: "Since you said so, let's do it!"

The enemy's combat power has basically been exposed.

Sometimes it is necessary to hide combat power, and sometimes it is necessary to deliberately display all strength. This time, the Hidden Light Village chose the latter. From the perspective of Ohnoki, in this war.

The Hidden Light Village is definitely at a disadvantage.

Let's not talk about whether it can withstand the further attack of the Hidden Mist Village. Even if the south can maintain a balance and not collapse, here in the north, as long as their Hidden Light Village goes south with great fanfare, it will definitely shake the internal situation of the Hidden Light Village.

Win without fighting.

This is Ohnoki's real intention.

After all, the Hikari Village was formed by the joint efforts of the Takigakure Village and the Kusagakure Village. Doesn't Ohnoki know what the original Takigakure and Kusagakure are like?!

The Takigakure and Kusagakure villages of thirty or forty years may still have the deterrent power of the heroes of the moment, and the five major countries need to give them some face.

But in the past ten years.

These two ninja villages are really just a frame left.

Ohnoki has sufficient reason to believe that they only need to push forward a little bit, and they can directly destroy the mentality of these former Takigakure and Kusagakure ninjas. Then, they can do more propaganda offensives, and most likely they can force these ninjas to land.

This is the best result Ohnoki expected.

After all, we still need to be wary of the previous Konohagakure and Kumogakure, especially the former. Ohnoki doesn't want to make wedding clothes for others.

By forcing the Light Ninja to surrender as much as possible, the casualties of their own ninja village can be greatly reduced. If a perfect zero-casualty breakthrough can be achieved, even if the Cloud Village and the Leaf Village attack together, Ohnoki is confident that he can stop it.

So, here at the front line.

The Rock Village also caught the news of the arrival of reinforcements.

Ohnoki, the third generation Tsuchikage, officially set out from the ninja village. Defeating the enemy in front of the battle with thunder and lightning is the established strategy of the Rock Ninja.

In the front position of both sides.

The Rock Ninja army has already established its own camp in the shortest time.

Loess stood on the high point at the front of the camp, overlooking the outline of the mountain fortress built by Guangyin Village in the distance, and there was a hint of thoughtfulness on his steady face.

"What are you still thinking about? Wouldn't it be better to just attack directly? Didn't it mean that the main force of Guangyin Village was transferred to the south to deal with the fog ninja? Let's quickly press down here, and solve it in three strikes, five strikes and two divides. Isn’t it okay to get rid of those guys? Loess boy, what’s the point of being hesitant?”

In the side position.

Suddenly a slightly short but very capable figure appeared, speaking in an obviously unhappy tone.

This figure is none other than Lao Zi, one of the Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki with the highest combat power in Iwagakure Village.

They are the relatively senior group of ninjas in the Ninja Village. In the early years, they almost didn't stay in the village because they disagreed with Onoki's philosophy. They were similar to Jiraiya who went out to travel, but as soon as the village was recruited, Lao Zi would immediately return to the village, murmuring non-stop, and even scolded Ohnoki several times in the past, but orders were always carried out without compromise.

This is also the reason why Ohnoki has always chosen to indulge and tolerate Lao Zi.

There is nothing wrong with people on big festivals.

Everything is based on the interests of the Ninja Village. He always reserves his personal opinions, but will definitely obey the overall order. What else is Ohnoki dissatisfied with?

If you want to scold me, just let them scold you.

After all, he is a highly respected ninja in the Ninja Village.

Onoki still has this kind of tolerance.

As Ohnoki's son and a high-ranking member of the village, Huang Tu naturally knew the character of his old purple senior.

At that moment, he also showed a polite smile and said: "Haha, we still have to wait for the troops to rest for a while. At this time, we can also fully explore the information about the light ninja in the stronghold. This war is still a little special. Yes, Senior Lao Zi.”

"Hmph, both of you, father and son, have the same virtue. It's just a newly established ninja village. What's there to be afraid of? It's not Konoha, no, even Konoha. When it's time to be tough, you have to be tough and timid. Shrink, this is not our Iwa ninja style!"

Lao Zi snorted lightly and said with disdain.

Because I haven't actually played against each other.

I just learned about the strength of the Hidden Village from the intelligence. Lao Zi actually doesn't really believe that the Hidden Village is that strong, especially Uzumaki Menma and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki may be very strong, but a mere fifteen or sixteen years old How far can this boy unleash the power of the Nine-Tails? ?

If you hold on to death, you are better than them, right?

At such a level, it is not impossible to fight against him. The third generation Raikage who was vaguely known as the number one in the ninja world more than ten years ago still died in the hands of their Iwa ninjas! ?

No matter how strong Uzumaki Menma is, he is still just one person, let alone not necessarily really strong.

Lao Zi just felt that there was no need for the Iwa Ninja to be so cautious. If they were reckless, they could definitely defeat them with one blow.

The big deal is that you need to take some risks and pay some costs.

What they Iwa Ninja want is to show off their momentum.

"The main thing is..."

Huang Tu still looked calm and unhurried, when he wanted to slowly explain something to Lao Zi.

"Lord Loess."

Suddenly.

There was a rush of footsteps from behind.

The next second.

Along with that low voice fell.

A burly figure flashed to the position behind Huang Tu.

"Oh? Kuroki, do you have any new information?"

The person who came here is also one of the top jounin in Iwagakure Village. His attainments in Earth Release are second only to Onoki, Huangtu, Akatsuki and others. In the jounin level, he is a well-deserved elite existence, and he is also Huangtu's right-hand man in the jounin class. .

This time when I came to the front line, I was in charge of intelligence collection.

"No, there is news coming from the village. Lord Tsuchikage has officially set off for the front line. Tsuchikage has also given orders to launch a full-scale offensive directly against the Tianxi Mountain Fortress in Guangyin Village tomorrow. He must break through the light in the shortest possible time. Shinobi's first line of defense is approaching Guangyin Village."

Kuroki said with a serious look.

"Are we going to launch a general attack tomorrow!?"

Huang Tu was slightly startled.

This is very different from the strategy set by their Tsuchikage father at the beginning. Their initial plan was to advance slowly and use a high-pressure situation to force the Koninja side to collapse. In this case, they could use the minimum , even at zero cost in exchange for victory.

The current posture sounds like a direct attack on this fortress at all costs.

In this case.

The price they need to pay is not a piece of cake.

If the information is correct.

In the fortress opposite.

But there is the Seven-Tailed Jinchuuriki, and the guy who can transform into a black monster that is comparable to, or even almost surpasses, the existence of ordinary tailed beasts.

It wouldn't be in the interest of their Iwa ninjas to force them to fight! ?

"Oh oh oh! Is Onoki this guy so bold!? Haha, that's how it's supposed to be!"

Huang Tu was wondering.

Lao Zi's eyes lit up and he laughed and said loudly.

This approach is what suits him.

That is to say, what are you afraid of? Just attack to the end and be done with it. How can a mere so-called Guangyin Village turn the world upside down! ?

For Lao Zi, he called Ohnoki by his first name.

Ohnoki and Kuroki have long been accustomed to it, and just pretended not to hear it. Ohnoki himself did not say that Lao Zi must respect him in terms of title. It is enough to be able to carry out his orders, and what else is needed for a bicycle! ?

"Did there be an accident? Did Tsuchikage-sama tell me anything more?"

Huang Tu asked with a frown.

It should be said that Huang Tu is indeed very similar to his father from the bottom of his heart, and he is even more stable.

Loess felt that the previous strategy was very suitable. They, the Iwa Ninjas, were not afraid of death, but they could get the result at the minimum price, so why take the risk? Just to shorten that little time! ?

This is completely meaningless.

"There are indeed some changes. Lord Loess, both Cloud Hidden Village and Konoha Hidden Village have strengthened their military deployment at the border, especially the latter. I heard that the think tank of Konoha Hidden Village, Nara Shikaku, has already arrived in person. In the border area, the number of Konoha ninja gathered there has exceeded three thousand, and is still expanding."

Kuroki nodded heavily and replied.

"Kumogakure and Konoha? It seems that they can't bear it anymore..."

Huang Tu then showed a hint of surprise, nodded slightly and said.

If there is any abnormal movement in these two ninja villages.

Then the adjustment strategy of our Ninja Village is also a real effort.

Because they are the ones who initiated the war first. If they give up halfway, not only will the previous actions be meaningless, but it will easily trigger a new round of problems in other areas.

But the risks and costs of attacking now are much higher than expected.

Huang Tu sighed softly in his heart, but on the surface he still nodded heavily and replied: "I understand, pass on the order, let the troops prepare, spread out the wings first, and confirm that there are no other light ninja troops around. , we will officially launch the general offensive tomorrow!”

"Yes, Lord Huangtu!"

After Kuroki stood up to answer, he swayed and returned to carry out Huang Tu's order.

Huang Tu turned his head again and looked at the giant fortress in Guangyin Village in the distance, with a faint look of worry on his face.

I don't know why, but at this moment, a very bad premonition emerged in Huang Tu's heart.

"Loess boy, what are you worried about!? It's just a Guangyin Village. Tomorrow, I will break it directly and show it to you!"

Lao Zi squeezed it hard with both hands and said with a sinister smile.

"Then I'll leave it to Old Zi Sang tomorrow."

Huang Tu also smiled slightly and said.
